Ekko will need a hotfix next patch, he's really terrible now.

They completely gutted tank ekko by making his ult a flat heal increased by percent missing AP with an AP ratio (aka it's no longer more HP = larger heal), lower passive damage late game (down like 30 or 50), and they removed his passive's slow.

Now assassin Ekko, who is already not that good due to terrible early game nerfs by Riot and unreliable Q, his hurt even more. No longer can he Q E passive run away and still be barely out traded, instead he'll Q E passive run away and lose twice as much health than his opponent. They haven't reverted any of the previous nerfs to his early game, yet Tank Ekko is dead. And what buffs does he get? More Q AP ratio out going, slightly more mana regen, 10 more damage to his passive level 1 (still nerfed by 30 late), and the most useless ultimate buff. Still the same, terrible, early game.

Suggested changes? Unnerf base AD because tank ekko is dead, passive gives a bit more MS early game, Q gets base damage unnerfed (I'll even take a cooldown nerf for it) also AP ratio up more, W shield value base increased a bit and shield per AP increased a large bit, ultimate damage down (ratio), unsure to change heal, lower cooldown. His ult is his escape, not his main nuke. While we're at it, disable him from buying Rylai's because his passive shouldn't slow and that gives it a 40% slow.

No, just make sure Tank Ekko is dead, dont buff shit that has to do with AD or heals or anything. I really dont have an idea how to buff AP assassin Ekko, I mean most of his damage comes from his most uninteractive ability, his E, while his Q is pure shit. His ult and W are ok, gut scalling on his E, buff the hell out of Q and R ap scallings.

The mini rework was basically a huge nerf to both AP Ekko and tank Ekko. Now he's bad in every way possible. zzz riot is so incompetent...

Well, as I said his kit is toxic anyway. All the damage from AP is concentrated in his toxic E and passive which is so fucking broken. Imo he had a lot of potential, I love the W and ulti but they are not the focus of his assassin build, but rather his broken, cancerous, game breaking tank build. Its just dissapointing man, lately they cant seem to make a non overloaded assassin, at least some of the reworks look ok... Honestly with this kit, he is better left in the gutter and should be joined by Yasuo who has similar problems.

Because AP Ekko is terrible. Which is what needs buff now that Tank Ekko is unplayable.

I fought a tank ekko earlier today, It was even more broken then before. He could jump into combat stay long enough to kill someone while entire team was focusing him then get out with over half health. Then he could just keep jumping in and out of combat poking us down while we couldnt touch him until he would dive in again focused by our entire team to kill another person. Riot's changes have not fixed the tank ekko problem in the slightest.
